C T Online Desk: Dec 13, 2025- Leaders of major political parties at a meeting with the Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus today said that they are united in resisting all attempts to undermine the July Uprising.
They made the commitment describing the attack on Sharif Osman Hadi, spokesperson of Inquilab Mancha and a potential independent candidate for Dhaka-8, as part of a conspiracy to foil the uprising.
Leaders of Bangladesh Nationalist Party, Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and National Citizen Party took part in the meeting at the State Guest House Jamuna here, said the Chief Adviser’s Press Wing this afternoon.
BNP Standing Committee members Salahuddin Ahmed and Major (Retd) Hafizuddin Ahmed Bir Bikram, Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Mia Golam Parwar and Assistant Secretary General Ahsanul Mahboob Zubair and NCP Convener Nahid Islam and Chief Organiser for Southern Region Hasnat Abdullah, Inquilab Mancha Member Secretary Abdullah Al Jaber and Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Adviser Dr Asif Nazrul were present at the meeting.
The Chief Adviser said the attack on Osman Hadi was pre-planned and part of a deep conspiracy backed by powerful forces.
“The conspirators aim to prevent the election. This attack is highly symbolic. They want to demonstrate their strength and foil all preparations for the election. All of these must be confronted in a united manner,” he said.
Prof Yunus said that based on information received so far, it appears the conspirators have expanded their network and deployed trained shooters.
The political parties have decided to hold an all-party meeting protesting the heinous attack on Osman Hadi under the initiative of Inquilab Mancha. The meeting will be held in the next few days.
Leaders of BNP, Jamaat-e-Islami and NCP called for increasing communication among political parties to prevent a rift in the anti-fascist political unity. They said that the parties will take a strong stance in this regard.
Besides, the political leaders also called for conducting strict drives to recover illegal weapons before the elections.
BNP leader Salahuddin Ahmed put emphasis on unity among the political parties, saying, “In this situation, we must remain united and refrain from blaming each other under any circumstances”.
“We must raise a united voice against the conspiracy. We will not tolerate any kind of evil force,” he said, adding, “No matter how much opposition there is in our political speeches, we must remain united in the interest of the nation and the interest of July”.
He called for intensifying drives to recover illegal arms and against the conspirators.
Jamaat leader Mia Golam Parwar said, “Our recent statements have increased the tendency of blaming each other, which has given our opponents an opportunity. We must remain united as before.”
“We have turned each other into rivals for narrow party interests. Why should we use words that divide the nation? All parties must reaffirm their commitments,” he said.
